Event Description
|
As reported, a smart control, iliac 10mm x60mm self-expanding stent (ses) was attempted to be implanted at the iliac artery by cross-over approach; however, the complaint device was unable to cross the lesion.Pre dilation was performed several times and re-insertion was done but the complaint device was unable to cross the lesion due to tortuosity.The physician used a stiff unknown wire as well, but the complaint device was unable to cross the lesion and the tip got cracked.The use of the complaint device was stopped, and the procedure terminated in percutaneous old balloon angioplasty (poba) only.There was no reported patient injury.The device is expected to be returned for evaluation.

A smart control, iliac 10mm x60mm self-expanding stent (ses) was attempted to be implanted at the iliac artery by cross-over approach; however, the complaint device was unable to cross the lesion.Pre dilation was performed several times and re-insertion was done but the complaint device was unable to cross the lesion due to tortuosity.The physician used a stiff unknown wire as well, but the complaint device was unable to cross the lesion and the tip got cracked.The use of the complaint device was stopped, and the procedure terminated in percutaneous old balloon angioplasty (poba) only.Multiple attempts to obtain supplemental information were made; however, additional event details were not provided.There was no reported patient injury.The device was not returned for analysis.A product history record (phr) review of lot 18103050 revealed no anomalies or non-conformances during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.Without the return of the device for analysis the reported ¿stent delivery system (sds)-ses~ failure to cross¿ and ¿catheter tip~ cracked¿ was not confirmed.It is difficult to draw a clinical conclusion between the device and the events based on the information available.However, it is probable that procedural and or handling factors such as the user¿s interaction with the device and vessel characteristics may have contributed to the reported events.According to the instructions for use (ifu) ¿system handling ¿ precautions.Do not use if it appears to be damaged.If resistance is encountered at any time during the insertion procedure, do not force passage.Resistance may cause damage to stent or system.If resistance occurs during movement through the sheath, carefully withdraw the stent system.Once stent deployment has begun, the stent must be fully deployed.The system is not designed for stent repositioning or recapturing.If resistance is felt when initially retracting the outer deployment sheath do not force deployment.Carefully withdraw the stent system without deploying the stent.¿ neither the phr review nor the information available suggests a design or manufacturing related cause could be related to the manufacturing process of the unit.Therefore, no corrective or preventive actions will be taken.
